@Lioness98 I estimate majority of the Pak Panjabis and 'Mirpuris' in the Uk who are 'wrong uns' are from the area of the map to the left of the lines.

Found this from 2013 https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Vision-for-Economic-Development-in-Punjab.pdf VISION FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN PUNJAB Lakhwinder Singh* Abstract Punjab economy remained a symbol of economic prosperity and a role model of economic development among the Indian states for more than three decades since the ushering in of the green revolution. The dismal performance of Punjab economy during the period of economic reforms relegated the state‟s economy from a leading to a laggard one. Punjab is now ranked at number seven among the major Indian states in terms of per capita income. Why has Punjab economy slipped to 7th position and turned from a leader to a laggard? This question is intriguing and demands answer from well wishers, policy makers, political leadership and the scholars working on Punjab economy. Despite the recognition of the problem and attempts made so far, the reversal in the trend has not yet occurred. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze the factors that are responsible for the slow progress of the Punjab economy. An alternative pathway in the light of this analysis has been outlined to rebuild and resurrect the economic development dynamism in Punjab state.............. Conclusions: Punjab economy has experienced relative retrogression of its economic status in the post-reform period contrary to acceleration of economic growth of the national economy as well as majority of the major states of the country. The process of divergence of economic growth performance of Punjab state vis a vis of national 22 economy as well as of dynamic states has been examined with a view to identify the growth reducing sectors and constraints. The first decade of the post-reform economic growth pattern of Punjab economy clearly brings out that the dominant sectors of Punjab economy like agriculture, registered manufacturing, electricity, real estate, public administration and others services, which contributed 68.52 per cent of the net state domestic product at beginning of reform period, have experienced deceleration in economic growth. The major constraints that have impinged upon the development process of the Punjab economy are structural rigidities, macroeconomic policies, human capital development, low investment-GSDP ratio, demand and supply factors and non economic factors such as social, political and an active international border. Keeping in view the grass root realities, alternative policy measures are suggested to rejuvenate the economy of Punjab. The reforms related to governance pattern of both state and union government have been suggested with regard to the purview of both the stakeholders. To harness long term sustained and inclusive growth, an alternative structural transformation pattern of economic growth has been outlined. The alternative policy options devised keeping in view the specificities of the economy of Punjab state, if implemented have a capacity to restructure and rebuild the economy of the state along with involving people as a partners of economic growth

Seems like Punjabis need to think more before acting. Or get manipulated easily otherwise. Lol ? Interesting The language of the book is a little convoluted from what I see in sections I have not quoted. Would be a 'long read' that I would skim through This Ribeiro looks a 'wrong un' so I would take anything he says with pinch of salt also https://www.google.com/search?q=ribeiro+julio&rlz=1C1AWFC_enGB920GB920&sxsrf=APq-WBvXrv58CDFvShNlpu2xexOsZC2deA:1644675718951&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiBgP6_rvr1AhXHPsAKHY_jBFMQ_AUoAnoECAIQBA&biw=1536&bih=754&dpr=1.25

Good news

Seems different from how Bhai Jagraj Singh ji would have represented Sikhi (might be wrong) And I think the slogan is inspired by something like this ? *Get it now - to do with Valentine's Day! https://eatnorth.com/daniel-ball/canadian-sikh-community-deliver-valentines-day-care-packages-womens-shelters Canadian Sikh community to deliver Valentine’s Day care packages to women’s shelters The World Sikh Organization of Canada’s annual event takes place across the country on Valentine’s Day by Daniel Ball Posted February 11, 2022 Image via World Sikh Organization of Canada's Facebook page The World Sikh Organization of Canada announced this week that its annual initiative to deliver care packages to women's shelters across the country will proceed as planned on Valentine’s Day. The initiative, which was launched in 2012 in conjunction with the One Billion Rising movement, will see care packages of baked goods, Valentine’s Day cards, chocolates, and personal care items sent to women’s shelters in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. The packages themselves are assembled by individuals and families within the Canadian Sikh community, while the Valentine’s Day cards are custom-made by local school children.

The packages will be dropped off by volunteers at shelters across Canada on February 14.

I always thought Modi looks a little like a monkey

Still waiting, lol @Singh1989 Be great to know of more anecdotes...

Doesn't he have bodyguards at all times? Did you see them ?

I understand what you are saying and the culture of drinking is not good, but most rural folk in Panjab /from Panjab are similar to each other in behaviour. All groups drink Just need to be united and move forward and away from it

Defintely must be some, there are a lot of Paks there, and a lot of South Indians. There was a BBC three-part docu recently Who ? Not many prospects for many in Panjab

Still think you're overplaying the importance of the people not far from Lahore like Faisalabad. The 'wrong uns' from my observation are mainly from Northern Panjab like Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Gujar Khan, Gujrat and Jhelum areas, which are near to the 'Azad Kashmir' area, if not Mirpuri Definitely agree their influence on other Pak Panjabis though here, and that religion comes first by far for majority of them compared to our Panjabis

Who cares what 'caste' we/our families are from? My family has not farmed for a few generation and most are abroad also. And, not all the Panth's issues are due to jatts ! Lol. Given around 60% of Sikhs are 'jatt' then of course they will also be causing more 'problems' than others, but I doubt in any higher proportion Getting tiring hearing about caste in multiple threads here now

Bhangra is not the correct 'umbrella term' for all Panjabi music - all Panjabi music is not bhangra. And not all bhangra artists or dancers are jatt. There's been many non-jatt Panjabi singers in the UK in the past 40 years , that actually live here.

Maybe you could have a chat with them before you book a session? Which country you in, Jee ?

'Jazzy B' had a concert in Birmingham yday This was after, apparently. Have no idea what the story is , but it was some 'students only' event. Some of the guys look like Paks to me https://www.fatsoma.com/e/uc4ufab6/less-than-175-tickets-desi-beats-special-jazzy-b-performing-live
